Shuocheng District, formerly Shuo County, is the main urban district of the prefecture-level city of Shuozhou in Shanxi province, China.
Shuocheng is the site of the ancient Chinese frontier post of Mayi and its territory was previously organized as the of Yanmen Commandery.
Yinguan,[2] in present-day Shuocheng District's Xiaguancheng Village,[3] was the seat of another county and of all of Yanmen Commandery during the Eastern Han.[2] The post was moved to Guangwu near present-day Daixian under the Kingdom of Wei.[2]
